Iversen on verge of Wolves switch

Steffen Iversen was poised to become Wolves boss David Jones' fourth signing of the summer after arriving at Molineux for a medical today.

The Tottenham striker was also due to discuss personal terms after the two clubs neared an agreement over the terms of his free transfer.

Wolves secretary Richard Skirrow told the club's official website, www.wolves.co.uk: "Providing all the final arrangements can be made between the player, Tottenham and Wolves, we are hopeful that the deal will be successfully completed before the end of the week.

"Steffen will undergo a medical with the club today and, subject to all being well, we should finalise the transfer with his current employers later.

"We are hoping that, with a bit of luck, Steffen may be available to figure in tomorrow's friendly against Den Haag."

The 26-year-old Norwegian expressed his desire to join Wolves during a trip to the Black Country last week.

But one hitch was Wolves' reluctance to break their rigid wage structure for a player who has one year remaining on his White Hart Lane deal.

Wolves officials had been discussing the possibility of Tottenham continuing to pay part of Iversen's wages to keep costs below their strict wage ceiling.

Jones will be delighted once Iversen finally signs, following a period of frustration in the transfer market.

He has laid out just £1million for Portuguese midfielder Silas and has also signed Oleg Luzhny and Isaac Okoronkwo on free transfers.
